The English Oak Tree (Quercus Robur )

The English oak is a majestic deciduous tree, found in temperate regions. It can live for over a thousand years and can grow to a height of fifty meters.

Oak has rough light grey bark and is easy to recognize by its lobed leaves or by its acorns which it produces in autumn.

You can find oak growing in mostly all environments but it does not like to be too dry. Look for oak in woods, fields, parks, gardens, public spaces, farmland, along river banks and bordering fields.

It is the bark of the oak tree that is used in natural medicine.

How To Gather And Store Oak

Gather the bark from April to June, dry it, and fragment it by crushing or cutting it, store in an air tight jar for future use.
